Suburb Profile Eight Mile Plains

Local Government Authority	Brisbane
Location	13 km from CBD
Features	Proximity to Southeast Freeway, close to Garden City Shopping Centre
Commentary	Eight Mile Plains is 13 km south east of the Brisbane CBD and is one of the newer residential areas of Brisbane bordered by Sunnybank and McGregor. Given the upgrading of the Southeast Freeway and the new Busway to the city, this area is assured continued growth and popularity into the future. As would be expected in such a new suburb, the housing styles of the newly developed areas are high and low set brick and tile homes. There are few examples of older-styles houses - post-war weatherboard cottages left over from the days when the suburb was first established. The area is developing infrastructure as the community base increases. Most of the educational, retail and commercial facilities are located in neighbouring suburbs, especially Sunnybank and Garden City Shoppingtown in MacGregor. Source: REIQ
